- 1). Wear a t-shirt on Human Rights Day. Make or have a t-shirt made just stating that it is Human Rights Day. Or write out a specific article from the United Nations Declaration. For a copy of the Declaration, refer to the UN web site in the Resources section.
- 2). Make your own prayer flags with colorful paper and have each flag represent an article from the UN Declaration. Or write out the specific rights that all humans are allowed on each of the prayer flags. Display these flags outside your home on December 10.
- 3). Organize a fundraiser and donate the money to a human rights organization. Sell art that has a human-rights theme or sell baked goods. Hold a competition and have both sexes, and people of all ages and races join. Have each person participating in the competition get monetary sponsors. For example, hold a walk or dance-a-thon on Human Rights Day.
- 4). Raise awareness about human rights by handing out items that can be customized, such as informational pamphlets, bookmarks, pens, or bracelets. Have these items customized with something like "Celebrating Human Rights Everyday, Human Rights Day 2011." Include information about the declaration and what it means to be non-discriminatory.
- 5). Organize a silent walk through your city or town and carry posters of people from all over the world who have had their rights violated. Include lines from the Declaration written on the posters. Bring awareness to Human Rights Day by bringing along informational pamphlets that could be handed out on the walk. Be sure to check with your city or town to see if you need permits for the walk.
- 6). Hold a film festival in your city or town and use any donations that come in towards a human rights organization. Show films that show discrimination or combat discrimination. Hold a question and answer segment after each movie to get people thinking about what discrimination is and how to stop it.
